The Graduates is a 2008 American independent coming-of-age teen comedy film directed and written by Ryan Gielen.

The film follows four friends—Ben (Rob Bradford), Andy (Blake Merriman), Mattie (Nick Vergara), and Nickie (Michael Pennacchio)—who head to Ocean City, Maryland to celebrate their high school graduation.

Josh attempts to instruct the younger guys on seducing women, telling them "the secret" about female body language.

After a descriptive story from Josh about losing his virginity, the boys stumble into an awkward conversation about divorce.

The filmmakers used grassroots campaigning to promote the film and held screenings along the East coast.
